Well, yes. However, everything seems quite inelegant and bloated to
me in comparison to this simple `goto' [and I don't think that such a
local `goto' is something to be avoided at all costs].
In other words, I would be really thankful for replacement
suggestions.

In NR, there is
Analysis brackets
-----------------
Brackets are used in musical analysis to indicate structure in
musical pieces. Simple horizontal brackets are supported.
<example>
Analysis brackets may be nested.
<example>
I would only add
It is possible to start and end a bracket at the same musical
moment.
<example>
to the documentation. It would be nice to also have a reference to
`ColorSpanDef.ily' and an example how to use it, but this would rather
be a link to the (external) LSR snippet.
For the implementation, it seems obvious to me that it doesn't make
sense to have more than one single-moment bracket per voice at a given
moment. AFAICS, excessive numbers of \startGroup and \stopGroup
events are already properly handled (and ignored).
